Summary: This book is a compliation of the greatest Roman and Greek mythological monsters. It gives a great illustration of each and tells about its powers. Genre: Mythology Personal Reflection:I liked this book because it’s colorful and has sort of wacky-yet-historical drawings of the monsters/creatures. It touched on some well-known ancient Roman/Greek creatures and also some of the lesser-known. Each creature description tells what the creature looked like, their historical significance and their abilities. This book also has a pronunciation guide in the back which helps with some of the stranger-sounding creatures. Concept: The illustrations alone are really fun and would interest kids in getting into Greek and Roman mythology. This book comes complete with a pronunciation guide and a pop quiz at the end. It stars twenty monsters and it also features gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines. It is a great teaching tool for the classroom on the subject. The pictures are great and colorful. It also features a warning to 'read on if you dare' at the beginning of the book. The strength is the educational value of the book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This is a quirky illustrated introduction to the magical beasts and monsters that populate the myths of ancient Greece and Rome, and which reappear in children's stories closer to home such as Harry Potter. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

A treasure trove of classical monster mythology for younger readers, this delightful picture-book pairs a breezy, informative text - the very opposite of dry and "factual" - with oddball illustrations that just work. I loved John Harris' "narrative," with its conversational style, and Calef Brown's colorful illustrations, that fairly jump off the page. Highly recommended to all young readers with an interest in classical mythology! ( )
